Impressionist's Mooring
Go Fish
Fisherman's Wharf at Daybreak
The artist, Karen J Lee, features a collection of works of intriguing, distinctive, water locations that capture moods in varying reflections. The seasonal effects of light, the varied textures of surrounding subjects, are mirrored with enticing colors on water. The artist has created a Romanism of realism and irresistible tones in these intimate places, where the viewer can relish their surface qualities.
Influenced by Impressionism and expressive abstraction studies, simplicity of line and color is a crucial element of her work. The combining of skillfully varied brushstrokes, simple lines, fleeting moments of luminous color, nuances of light and shadow, all work together to form a warm sensuality replete with conveying the joys of enticing moments.
Karen J Lee’s study of the transient effects of natural light to its most refined expression on waters, reflects a 20th century modernism, combined with the French impressionistic feel. The works invite you to experience the effects of atmosphere, time of day and season, capturing the subtleties of color, reflected light and direct sunshine.
